I believe in remembering, a belief that originated from my fear of forgetting. My fear that one day I will wake up not knowing who I am or where I am or what I am doing. My fear that one day I will end up like the 5.1 million Americans who have Alzheimers today.

Because of this, my Grandma and my aunt thus became the basis of my knowledge of dementia and Alzheimers when I visited them in Texas years ago.
